Yes i've seen JUDO throws working at UFC without the GI also. Bryan Johnston Used No-Gi JUDO throws, also if im not mistaken Don-Frye used some in his early fights. Anyways many Takedowns are used in the UFC Osoto-Gari, Uchimata etc.

Carlos Newton is training in BJJ aka GJJ he is a great Grappler, but it seems he has training in a stricking system as well...I have seen him throw some mean Kicks and Punches.

"Has anyone seen any Judo throws in Pride or UFC?" : Yes, it you watch UFC greatest Hits no.1 you'll see one Judo throw I think.

They can be used, but you're in danger of giving your back and more whe you land. But they can be used no gi definitely.

"Training = pain." - I said that.

PizDoff when drunk: "I'm actually MOST pissed that my target for the evening got drink...then I gave her my Bullshido Canada hoodie like a gentleman because she was outside with not much on...did I mention she barfed twice when I got our jackets...steaming barf is kinda fascinating..." - PizDoff.
